What a joke.
-
on a Saturday night horrible
-
Decent card too. What a joke M1 has become!
-
Embarrassing.
-
track maintenance crew anyone ???
shameful
-
Northfield, Monticello and Mohawk race almost every day in much worse conditions.
-
First I feel for the horses that were prepared for Saturday night racing secondly the Horsemen and owners that rearranged their lives to be there because some fucking loser did not do his job and lastly I feel sorry for the patron who came only to be turned away. I noticed the dining room and the rest of the facility was left open.

What was the actual problem?
I watched the 1st. The nine stuck in its toes; was this something related to track? Could see the stretch had some drifting terrain..was that what prompted the cancellation?
Legitimately asking..was it that bad up there?

If it was a Thursday night they probably would have cancelled in the first place. It's also possible after the 1st race the drivers voted not to race because of the conditions, but lapdog Settlemoir will never tell you that.

The immortal Tyler Miller was on the #9 horse and went 54:4 to the half on a brutally cold windy night before breaking and interferring with several horses behind him.

Actually, I think it was his Dad. In any event, props to Boyd, Tritton, and Buter for good reflexes and control of their horses. If AA were still around there would be hell to pay in NJ.
-
They didn't pay out around $225,000 in purses. Do they make up the day?

I stand corrected, it was Andy, thanks! Had it been Tyler he would have gotten parked the mile.

Since Gural claims he loses money on racing, I wouldn't hold my breath.

I wouldn’t be surprised if it were the drivers. If not on top there was a lot of mud flying. Watch the replay. Starting gate was putting out quite a spray too. 23 degrees. If a horse of mine had been in to race in a later race I would have wanted him scratched.

At the thoroughbred tracks, when the track conditions are in question, the jockeys will walk the track, and if they deem it's unsafe will refuse to ride.
-
it probably was the drivers
based on the fact the track looked like a skating rink
they didnt have much choice
-
Fucking pussies. It’s winter. Snow and wind are a part of it.
-
They showed Andy Miller on the live feed examining the spot on the track where his horse lost it. Then they canceled right after that. Onviously, there was ice at the spot Andy lost control. That is why the race should have been declared a no contest and bets refunded. But, they went the greed route and didn't want to lose the handle.
-
The track was shit, they were right to cancel. If they didn't, people would be bitchen about broken down horses.
-
To me the point isn't that they canceled, it's that they weren't prepared. Other cold weather tracks would never have had to cancel on a night like last night.
-
It's kind of odd about how the Big M's track maintenance crew can't get the job done. I watched racing last night from Northfield and Woodbine. Snow falling in bunched. But both tracks ran, and there seemed to be no issues. Why can't the Meadowlands get it right?

It does snow alot more at Northfield and Mohawk, but they'll use the excuse the snow caught them by surprise, which is a lame excuse. If you cancelled after the 1st race then you probably shouldn't have run at all, but it was Saturday, so their greed won out, but it backfired.
